Vista - Will I be able to buy a Vista SP1 Disc?

I remember reading that this was possible, at least with XP, but I can't seem
to find any page that would allow this. The only thing I found was a page
that allowed digital download buyers to get back up discs.

Considering the fact that slipstreaming isn't possible, I would definitely
like to replace my Ultimate retail discs with sp1 discs.

You will be able to get the disks with SP1 included ...When? its not sure
exactly

why get a sp1 only disk when you can get the vista with sp1 encorporated?

But if you are in a hurry, why dont you download the whole sp1 STANDALONE
package and write it on a cd or dvd?

see here for links

Sorry I mean I want SP1 already added to Vista since I can't slipstream
myself. Not SP1 alone.

I don't see the option for XP though?

I know what you mean, and I told you that
MS will be able to send you a disk with SP1 already slipstreamed into the
vista disk
The cost will be shipping and handling mostly.
You will use your own product key with that...

The link I told you is for downloading the SP1 for Vista as a whole
package..
We are talking about vista here.. what does XP have anything to do with it?

Just that I was skeptical about it so I figured if there is a XP page that
does the same thing then there will be one for Vista as well

after some time you will be able to order a replacement media dvd that will
have sp1 slipstreamed

i dont think ms has them yet for shipping..

but because lots of people will want these, im sure you will hear about it
sooner or later

The OP wants a disk with SP1 on it, not a Vista installation disk
with SP1 incorporated in it - that would be a new installation disk
and it would cost like one. With Windows XP, one could order
a disk with just the Service Pack updates for a small fee. The
only advantage is that you don't have to do a long download and
risk introducing errors, and you don't have to burn it to disk in
order to have it available for future re-installations.

I got a new XP SP2 disk free at the Geek Desk in BestBuy once. I asked, and
the guy said he knows nothing about a Vista SP1 release offer, but I'd keep
my eye on it.

Knowing how qualified the geek desk is, I'm surprised he even knew what
Vista was.

Did the guy at BestBuy give you a disk with XP's Service Pack 2
on it? Or did he give you an XP installation disk which incorporated
Service Pack 2 - commonly called the "XP/SP2" disk? Since it
was free, it in all likelihood was the former (just the Service Pack).
